Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing new pressure from House Democrats
to open impeachment proceedings as she plans to meet with her party
behind closed doors on Wednesday to discuss President Donald Trump’s
defiance of congressional investigations.

Several influential
Democratic lawmakers, including a few top Pelosi lieutenants, in recent
days joined calls to begin an impeachment inquiry, spurred by Trump’s
move to prevent former White House Counsel Don McGahn from testifying
Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee.
Pelosi, who is also scheduled to meet with Trump on Wednesday
to discuss infrastructure proposals, remains deeply reluctant to pursue
impeachment, worried that the move could backfire on her party and
motivate Trump’s base. But her strategy is coming under greater
second-guessing.
In at least two private meetings this week, Pelosi was
pressed by Democrats to consider moving more quickly toward impeachment.
In one of the meetings, Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler conveyed that
some of his panel’s Democrats now want to pursue that option, according
to a House official. His committee would likely oversee the early
stages of such an inquiry.
A vocal minority, including Financial
Services Chairman Maxine Waters and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has long
been calling for Trump’s impeachment, with even more urgency since
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released. But until this
week, that talk had been relatively isolated. And Pelosi retains many
influential supporters who firmly back her go-slow approach, including
No. 3 House Democrat James Clyburn and long-time ally Rosa DeLauro.
After McGahn snubbed the House Judiciary panel on Tuesday,
Democrats appeared to be split over the next steps. Panel members
scrapped a post-hearing press conference Tuesday when they couldn’t
agree on what to say, according to a person familiar with the matter.

"I
think that we are probably going to wind up there,” at impeachment,
Karen Bass, a Democrat on the Judiciary panel and chairwoman of the
Congressional Black Caucus, told reporters after the hearing. "I don’t
know if that is today; I don’t know if we might be forced to act very
soon." She added that the House needs to speed up its investigation of
Trump to counter the legal obstacles the administration is staging.

aren’t keeping a formal whip count, and one Judiciary Committee
Democrat, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said this isn’t an issue where the
most votes should win.
“I would say that there are arguments for doing it, but we
have to agree collectively," said Raskin, who said he recently changed
his mind in favor of launching an inquiry.
Representative Sheila
Jackson Lee of Texas, a senior Judiciary panel member, offered a more
cautious approach. She told reporters that in the next two days she will
introduce a resolution to authorize the Judiciary Committee to
investigate whether there are sufficient grounds to launch an
impeachment inquiry -- in other words, an investigation into whether
there should be an impeachment investigation.
“We believe and
continue to believe that we are doing the right thing by investigating,
and that our task is to educate before we activate, and that is what we
will do,” Jackson Lee said.

has complained that the drip-drip-drip of legal battles with the
administration over investigations underway in six committees was
overtaking the party’s legislative agenda.

The
House won the opening round of one court battle on Monday, when a
federal judge ruled that Trump’s longtime accounting firm should comply
with a subpoena from the House Oversight and Reform Committee and hand
over his financial records. Trump is appealing the ruling.
On Wednesday, a different federal judge is set to hear a similar case in which Trump is seeking to block subpoenas of Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. for documents related to Trump, his companies and his family.
Raskin
and other Democrats have told Pelosi that an impeachment inquiry would
be a more streamlined, centralized route to obtain the documents and
witness information related to Trump.
But Pelosi has said that impeachment is so divisive to the
country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and
bipartisan, "I don’t think we should go down that path, because it
divides the country." She also has said Trump is "not worth it."
Pelosi’s
tone shifted slightly this week, making the case that the Trump
investigations led by multiple House committees are beginning to yield
some investigative results and court victories.

The
speaker also appeared to be defending the turf of some committee
chairman -- many of them longtime Pelosi allies -- when Democrat Steve
Cohen of Tennessee on Monday pressed for an impeachment inquiry.
She responded to Cohen by asking if he was advocating for
shutting down the five other committees -- aside from Judiciary -- that
are working on Trump-related issues. She even noted that the chairman of
the Oversight and Reform Committee, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, had
just won a court victory Monday.
Still, most of the new converts
to impeachment this week suggested they were tired of Trump’s
stonewalling on House committee requests for witness testimony and
documents, and that an impeachment inquiry will provide those efforts
with greater legal heft.
“More of my colleagues are coming around, reluctantly, to the reality that impeachment is necessary, unavoidable, and urgent,” California Democrat Jared Huffman said on Twitter. “This week feels like the tipping point.”
